Drugmaker Mallinckrodt has reached a tentative deal with the U.S. Justice Department to resolve a drug bribery case, the manufacturer announced June 5. Mallinckrodt expects to pay out $15.4 million.
The settlement resolves a government investigation into Mallinckrodt's subsidiary Questcor, which it acquired for about $5.6 billion in 2014. The settlement covers charges related to an investigation of Questcor's sales and marketing techniques, but does not resolve allegations involving its charitable foundation's activities.
Mallinckrodt did not admit any wrongdoing. Terms of the agreement have not been finalized.
